Currently, there is no default Object.prototype.@@iterator, so 
for-of'ing over an object throws a TypeError which isn't really a useful 
default.
No having a default @@iterator also makes that Map({a:1, b:2}) throws 
which is unfortunate.

Should what you just wrote be made the default 
Object.prototype.@@iterator? It is compatible with the signature the Map 
constructor expects too.
